Media Bytes - Amused to Death Edition

Song in my head. The video is a little weird but I took it anyway because the sound track is good and the song goes with the picture of the day.

What do you suppose Cindy Lou is thinking here at her photo op at a garbage dump in Cambodia? I'm hearing, "Smile you little urchin but don't, under any circumstance, touch me."

Meanwhile, I've been schluffing off all day. I have a couple of new posts at Newshoggers but otherwise I can't believe the whole day slipped by without my noticing. I've been collecting links so I'll be pounding out a few more posts before I quit for the day but to hold you for the moment, a few quick links.

For the long read, this fluffer of a profile piece on Cindy was sort of interesting, mainly in how casually they presented her shady past as somehow normal and almost noble. Just your typical, long suffering political wife, you know. And I didn't know her middle name was Lou. It fits. She does remind me a bit of the Dr. Seuss character.
